I'm gonna rescue this tournament. I've already gotten the necessary approvals, site plans and zoning permissions and expect to break ground on Monday. I'll be spending the intervening time doing a quantity survey of the partially completed structure....oh wait wrong field... anyways I'm gonna take over the tournament and will try to get an idea exactly where we are by Monday. I'll send out a mass PM to those of you who have not yet been eliminated to confirm that you are still interested in continuing. Those not interested may have to be replaced which just may result in one or two ongoing games being invalidated and having to be replayed. (although I'm hoping not).

I'll keep you updated via this post and the next one which I will reserve for Results. Good luck to all!

we have a result!!! given that I'm on vacation and the time of the year I'll probably look to start the finals in a weeks time... I'll send a message to all finalists within a couple days advising of the situation. Thanks all.
